Gerald Scarfe has been invited to stage a major exhibition of his work at the prestigious Egon Schiele gallery and museum in Cesky Krumlov in the Czech Republic. The dates are 5th April – 28th October 2012. For further details of the exhibition go to the Gallery web site – www.schieleartcentrum.cz.
On the morning of Tuesday 13 December, a group of disabled people and disabled charities gathered outside Downing Street to present a giant Christmas card to David Cameron and Nick Clegg on behalf of the Hardest Hit campaign. The giant card, carrying an image specially designed for the campaign by Gerald Scarfe, urged government to protect the basic rights of disabled people, and contained 20,000 signatures and messages from disabled people, their carers, families and campaigners.
Gerald’s iconic drawing of Margaret Thatcher as the ‘Torydactyl’ inspired David Martill, a Portsmouth University palaeontologist, to name the newly discovered cousin of the pterodactyl after him. The new pterosaur species has been called Cuspicephalus scarfi, because the fossil’s unusually pointy head reminded Dr Martill of the cartoon.
Gerald Scarfe occasionally makes personal appearances.
He has given illustrated talks at the National Portrait Gallery, the V & A, the National Gallery, the Tate Gallery, and at venues all over the UK and Europe.
At the moment there are no scheduled lectures. We will post any new events on this page.
